Original - Figma (#526) - figma Styles - Makoto - Sukeban Body (Max Factory)Max Factory

Max Factory's figma line introduces an original character named Makoto in the figma Styles sub-series, specifically the Sukeban Body version as figure number 526. Standing approximately 135mm tall, this figure is constructed from ABS, PVC, and fabric, with sculpting by Enomoto Uniko and Asai (APSY) Masaki. Released at 6,182 JPY under product code 4545784067567, it showcases the figma Styles line's approach of creating original characters with cloth costume accessories. The Sukeban style references Japanese delinquent girl gangs that emerged in the 1960s, a cultural phenomenon that became a popular stereotype in anime and manga. Sukeban characters are typically depicted wearing modified school uniforms with long skirts, carrying a defiant attitude that challenged societal norms. The figma Styles series explored this aesthetic by outfitting the original Makoto character with fabric clothing accessories that capture the rebellious spirit of the Sukeban look. The inclusion of real fabric accessories was a notable feature for the figma line, and this figure represents an early example of cloth goods being integrated into action figure design.
